Old King Cole was not always a king, nor was he born a member of any royal family. It was only chance that made him a king at all.

But that was enough for Cole, who never bothered his head about the world's goods, but took things as they came and refused to worry about anything. So begins the story of how this happy soul became the king of a country by accident.
